Features: This book strives to systematically introduce the basic knowledge, fundamental theories, basic skills, and treatment methods of acupuncture and moxibustion using concise and accurate language, accompanied by charts and illustrations. This aims to provide readers with a preliminary yet comprehensive understanding of acupuncture theory and its application under the guidance of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory. For this purpose, the book has the following features in its content and organization:
1. Systematically introduces knowledge of meridians and acupoints.
2. Emphasizes the close connection between acupuncture theory and clinical skills, facilitating mastery and application: In the acupoint section, in addition to describing locations, the book elaborates on acupoint selection methods. Instead of separately listing local anatomy and needling/moxibustion techniques for each acupoint, the anatomy of important areas and the needling methods for all acupoints are comprehensively explained in Chapter 3, "Needling Techniques for Common Acupoints of Each Part."
3. Carefully selects 70 clinically proven disease conditions for acupuncture that are suitable for overseas clinical practice, introducing their concepts, syndrome differentiation, and acupoint usage, with detailed descriptions of acupuncture operations, making the book highly practical for clinical use.
